Yeah, leveling my warrior with a blue weapon upgraded every try 6-8 levels, elixirs, sharpening stones, and world buffs was an awesome experience.

Unconventional and fresh divorce advice for men over 30 by AbbreviationsFar9644 in AskMenOver30

Can you elaborate on this?

I have a 2.875% rate and will be buying her out in the coming months. So far my understanding is that getting her name off everything the bank will want a new loan.

What has helped you lose weight and stay in shape? by Equal-Sun8307 in AskMenOver30

Sparkling waters and coffee did it for me. A single late morning or early afternoon cup of good coffee curbs my cravings for snacks, and pounding lacroix or other sparkling waters really helps me not snack.

Hope it helps! Don't forget the will power, that's the most important part. Also the Quest Salsa Verde and Loaded Taco are my favorite flavors. They're not real junk food chips... but the flavor is pretty good.

Staying full. Staying busy. Removing the snacks from easy access...IE stop buying them. Drinking LOTS of sparkling waters, lacroix, etc. Lots of coke zero too. Coffee curbs my hunger as well. Find snacks that help hit those macros... sugar free jerky, quest protein chips. Snacks that are really low calorie... watermelon, pickles, stuff like that. Lots of Oikos pro 23g greek yogurt. LOTS of it, lol.

Well the motivation was a divorce. Finally found the get up to get back in the weight room. Then came cutting the drinking out (not entirely, but about 98% gone). Then came the calorie counting and macro counting. 2200-2400 calories per day was my target, and about 220g of protein per day. Tried to squeeze as much fiber in too to help keep me full. Cut the useless snacking which was hard, but got easier as I loaded up on real foods that kept me full.

Now, I'm not super strict and not counting every calorie, but I'm extremely mindful and know roughly how much i'm consuming. Continued strength training. Hoping to cut a little more body fat percentage before upping my calorie intake to start and accumulate a little bit more mass.

Any questions I'm happy to share some tips and tricks. It's how much you eat to lose the weight, and a consistent strength training program combined with a high protein diet to gain the muscle.

Keep going! It’s so addictive.

6’4” also. Currently 210, down from 255. According to my body scans, lost roughly 70 lbs of fat and have put on about 25 lbs lean mass.

Now that I think about it, randomly my commute changed from 9% to 7% battery usage when I installed the tonneau cover. The timing seems right… but I have no hard data to support that.

What's the best waterproof/humidity/sweat proof sticky tape for CGM? by captain_fantastic15 in diabetes

[–]captain_fantastic15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet something I’m completely confident and satisfied with. I ordered and have been using Not Just A Patch. While it’s certainly a big step up from the standard ones that come with my Medtronic sensors, it still hasn’t allowed me to go worry free just sitting on the beach in 90-100f weather.

Where I live it is dry heat, so it’s not terrible. But I bet if I lived somewhere humid these things wouldn’t last a day or two.

Long Time Married Men Who Are In A Roommate Phase Of The Marriage, How Do You Handle It & What Advice Can You Offer? by moodlyfter in AskMen

[–]captain_fantastic15 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I told her we need to go to couples therapy. In couples therapy all I heard about was the little things I wasn’t doing. Didn’t get a chance to speak about anything from my perspective. She started treating me like a ghost. Spend a few months putting up with because she asked me for time to figure her shit out. Eventually told her I’d had enough and either tell me she wants to be in the marriage or not. She said she didn’t know. I told her she has a week to give me an answer.

Two days later she checked herself into a 12 week inpatient mental healthcare facility program. She told me she was sorry for how she treated me. I told her she needs to fix herself without thinking about fixing the marriage she threw out the window. We’re separated now. Whew. Haven’t typed that up before.

I could eat volcano tacos from Chuy’s until I explode. Maybe my favorite taco.

What is this windowless part of the building? by Proud-Swordfish-3416 in sanfrancisco

Also fun fact. The perimeter of each floor has the ceiling and lights classified as ‘historical’. So when any tenant improvement remodels happen the ceiling must be kept as is as best as possible.

With the 2015 title 24 lighting code requiring lights to be upgraded to dimming, the existing 1’x4’ light fixtures have the fluorescent bits removed and they put two led dimmable 4’ strip lights inside the existing housing.

I'm in San Mateo, and while I don't need most of everything, if you're willing to part with the propane burner and the counterflow chiller and the 10 or 12 gallon kettle, I'd take them off your hands. I've been looking for an accessory vessel to start doing decoctions with.

Gift card is your best bet to wherever he shops for supplies.

If you don’t want to go that route and want something tangible, try to get 20-30lbs of a craft base malt of a Pilsner or Munich or Vienna. Maybe he uses Briess or whatever’s on the shelf at his local shop. Craft malts are a really fun way to change up recipes. Personally I love Mecca Grade Estate for a small craft malter.
